At first, maybe? When I first started last year, I was pretty hooked since it was something new to me, minus the constant hackers spamming the message and grievers, it was so bad that I had to play private lobby only. The only thing to do is doing the same thing over and over again to earn money just to spend it to do the same thing again. There's no new mechanics, no story, nothing, just a constant grind and your reward is more grind.
Now I feel a dumbass for wasting two months of my life on it. Even Genshin is way better than GTAO, it actually has interesting story, fun mechanics and great characters. I've been playing GI since 2020, got a bit burned out and currently addicted to Witcher 3 but I still play it daily. But GTAO, fuck that shit, I left it more than 6 months ago and the thought of considering looking back never once crossed my mind.
Did you have fun? Because if you did (without actively damaging your life) then it wasn't time wasted even if you wouldn't ever go back!
Some of those 2 months was fun but most of it were like voluntary chore. I basically grinded to buy a business, just to grind that business to buy another one. Sometimes when I was earning money to buy a vehicle I want, it was somewhat fun because there was something to look forward to, and once I'd got what I wanted for a few days, I started asking "Now what?" every time. The most fun I got was from VIP Contracts, but they get repetitive real quick too.
